Hammer Time At Gemtech Suppressors

Please Hammer don’t hurt em:

Research and development over at Gemtech results in some suppressors that don’t make the cut. What do they do? Naturally they head to the parking lot with them and a sledge hammer.

Good choice of music for the video. Wow did I ever cringe at 0:18 seconds when he gave that suppressor the first whack and it launched into the air. At least he had glasses on… not that those would probably do much.

They are jokingly called Gemtax because companies used to be able to put your old number on an entirely new tube, giving owners a chance to fix catastrophic failures without paying an additional $200. Then one Day AAC took a bunch of customer’s gemtech cans and poof they got a better can and didn’t have to pay an extra $200 they just paid the price of an AAC suppressor (already overpriced but not important). Gemtech got all butthurt and asked the ATF is this was okay and poof again the ATF Clarifies(Cough…changes) their policy.

Tubes and baffles are destroyed for legal reasons. When I visited the Silencerco/SWR facility in March to interview for an open position, I was invited by the production manager to do a little destruction. I used an arbor press though, and we still sent parts flying across the room.
